Application June 21, 1948, Serial No. 34,159

My present invention relates to improvement in syringes for general useespecially for feminine use and the object is to provide a Syringe thatintromits and simultaneously withdraws a syringing fluid.

Further advantages Will be apparent as the novel combination,arrangement and .construction are subsequently specified and claimed.

In the drawings herewith:

Fig. 1 is an elevation of the invention;

Fig. 2 is a transverse section on line 2-2, Figure 1; and

Fig. 3 is a transverse section on line 3--3, Figure 1. v

The syringe 3 is comprised of a nozzle 4 and a cross-head fitting 5provided with compressible bulbs, a supply bulb 2!! and receiving bulb23 adaptably connected preferably by a screwthreaded joint 8. The nozzle4 has an open end 6 adapted for connection to the fitting 5 and a closedend I. Formed in the nozzle 4, extending from the open end 6 up to theclosed end I, is a central outlet passageway l .and inlet passagewaysII, at least one on each opposite side of said central passageway Ill.The central outlet passageway ID is transitioned into a preferablycircular connection means with a discharge orifice I2 formed therein.This connection means is illustrated as being in the form of a shank,and the open end I3 of the inlet passageways H, is preferably providedwith screw-threads 8, which run deep enough to permit the tube M in thecross-head fitting to sealably engage the connecting means of the openend I2 by detachably connecting the preferably reducing elbowshapedfitting 5 by the screw-threaded joint 8. Formed in the periphery of thenozzle 4, are dispersed outlet apertures ll leading from the inletpassage-ways II, and inlet apertures l8 leading to the outletpassage-way Ill.

The nozzle 4, as illustrated, is shaped to conform to the vagina asindicated at I9, and is provided With a radially flaring flange 9 toprevent the extrusion of the syringing fluid.

The cross-head fitting 5 comprises preferably an elbow-shaped inletcasing 16 so curved as to facilitate convenient application of thesyringe 3 and to promote gravitational flow of the syringing fluid, andis provided preferably with screwthreads 2| to connect with thescrew-threads 8, and adapted to connect at the other end [5 thereof tothe supply bulb 20. Concentrically disposed in said preferablyelbow-shaped casing I6, is an outlet tube It adapted to connect with theconnection means of the discharge opening 12 and 6 Claims. (01. 128-240)emerging from the casing l6, preferably in the form of a shank 22adapted for connection to the receiving bulb 23. The bulbs 20 and 23 areof elastic material having compressible characteristics, and inoperation the receiving bulb 23 is compressed first, and subsequentlyreleased to effect a suctioning function. The supply bulb 2B is thencompressed to intromit into the shank I5, the fluid, which issimultaneously suctioned up by the bulb 23 as same is assuming the formof a balloon. The bulbs 20 and 23 are adapted to be manipulated in thepalm of the hand and to serve as shankhandles, whereby to apply thenozzle 4.

This is a preferable form of the invention and other forms are possiblewith respect to the scope and concept of the subjoined claims.

I claim:

1. An improved two-way feminine syringe of the character described,comprising: a two-way nozzle including an internally applicablesyringing portion and'an externally applicable head portion, a pair ofinlet passageways extending longitudinally in the nozzle, a centraloutlet passageway extending longitudinally between said inletpassageways, the nozzle havin dispersed outlet apertures in theperiphery of the syringing portion leading from the inlet passagewaysand dispersed inlet apertures in the periphery of the syringing portionleading to the outlet passageway; said head portion including a radiallyflaring flange to afford a barrier to the extrusion of the syringingfluid, a two-way cross-head fitting connected to the nozzle, saidcross-head fitting having an inlet passageway communicating with theinlet passageways of the nozzle and an outlet entrant tube communicatingwith the connecting means of the central outlet passageway; a pair ofcompressible bulbs, one a supply bulb in communication with the inletpassageway of the cross-head fitting, the other receiving bulb incommunication with the outlet entrant tube of the cross-head fitting.

2. The structure of the nozzle as defined in claim 1, in which, thenozzle is of a substantially arcuate shape.

3. The structure of the nozzle defined in claim 1, in which the nozzleis of a substantially clavate shape.

4. The structure of the' nozzle defined in claim 1, in which, the girthand length of the nozzle is adapted to distend the folds of the vaginaand to extend up to the uterus for universally effective syringing.
